Arizona Flower Market Encourages Random Acts of Kindness by Giving Away Free Flower Bunches
PHOENIX, Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Arizona Flower Market is encouraging random acts of kindness by giving away two free flower bunches all day on Wednesday October 23rd. The free flowers are being given away in celebration of Petal it Forward, a floral industry event that spans all 50 states created by SAF (Society of American Florists). Florists all over the country are excited about sharing the feel-good proposition of giving away free flowers in their communities and encouraging the recipients to "pay it forward" by giving away flowers. Arizona Flower Market is giving away not one, but two FREE Daisy bunches to the first 300 customers who come in the flower market on Wednesday October 23rd. No purchase necessary.
"This "Petal it Forward" program is about giving back to the community and encouraging people to perform random acts of kindness with fresh flowers," said Cheryl Denham, owner of Arizona Family Florist, parent company to Arizona Flower Market. "The premise is simple, we give each customer two flower bunches – one for them to keep and one for them to gift an unsuspecting family member, co-worker, or even a stranger on the street. Our goal is to simply spread happiness through the power of fresh flowers."
Recent studies done by Rutgers, Harvard and Texas A&M Universities, all show the positive impact fresh flowers have on people's sense of well-being. SAF conducted their own survey on the subject and some interesting facts emerged:
- When it comes to happiness, it's just as good to give flowers as it is to receive: 88 percent of Americans report that giving flowers makes them feel happy, while 80 percent reported that receiving flowers makes them feel happy.
- Just being around flowers improves your mood: 76 percent of Americans agree that having flowers in their home or office improves their mood.
- The best reason to receive flowers is "just because": Women (92 percent) are more likely to agree with this, but the majority of men (three in four) also share this sentiment.
- Florists to the rescue! Nearly four in 10 Americans indicate florists have helped them in a past or current relationship; most frequently to say "I love you," or to schedule a surprise delivery.
